In newly collected material from high altitudes in China and India three new species in the genus Fuscopannaria have been discovered: F. albomaculata, F. granulifera and F. hirsuta, all with unusual characters for the genus. The first one has remarkable tube-like structures exposing the white medulla above, the thallus thus appearing to be white-dotted. The second contains green algae, and the last one is the first regularly hairy species to be discovered in the genus.
